  1. I was about to guess "Halloween" until I read a bit slower. Still working on this one...
  2. ("No song can be a hit if it's more than 3 1/2 minutes long. Make them 3:05 or less."- some idiot.)
  3. That is correct! Now that you have it, care to name any of the others for bragging rights or curiosity?
  4. Ok, trying again from here, we have: Michael Winslow Spaceballs John Candy
  5. He asked, Raf, so I wouldn't say not to answer him. I will ask for a bit of tact in how you phrase it, however. We can all play nice even when disagreeing, I think.
  6. Another round of cooking shows. Name any to take the round. A) 4 chefs compete in a supermarket- first to find their ingredients, subject to whatever challenges this round deals with- then they cook in the remaining time for a panel of judges. The weakest dish is eliminated, and the final round is the last chef standing- running around the supermarket, trying to fill a list in a few minutes, with cash for each item he fills. B) 4 chefs compete in a kitchen. First, they are handed a stack of real cash. Then, Round 1 begins. They are told what they will cook and how long they will have to cook it. Then they dash to the pantry to collect their ingredients in 60 seconds. Then they bid on auctioned sabotages to inflict on each other. Each round, the weakest cook is eliminated until there's one winner- who only wins the cash he has remaining after he spent whatever he spent on sabotages. (Any eliminated chef must surrender the remaining cash on his way out.) C) Round 1 has 2 chefs go head-to-head to beat each other. The winner goes on to Round 2- and challenges a specific professional chef at cooking the challenger's best dish. D) A home cook prepares about 1/2 a dozen recipes, and challenges the show. In each round, a professional chef comes out and spends a few seconds talking about what they cook best. The challenger then selects which item off their list they will challenge the chef to cook. Both cook, and a panel of 5 normal diners tries both. Best 3 out of 5 wins the round. The home cook, if he loses, doesn't win anything that round, but wins increasing totals of money based on which round it is- with the final round being a doubling of what was won so far. This is especially hard since there's only the last dish remaining to challenge them on. E) This game sounds like an illegal street brawl. 2 challengers show up, and must work with whatever ingredient is mandatory. The winner wins the show, and an odd "trophy" that helps explain the name of the show. This one is 1/2 an hour, which is very short for a cooking challenge show.
  7. Since it's a figure of speech, passive voice switched for the active voice (permission stated as action), you should find it in both "Figures of Speech Used in the Bible" and the Companion Bible. IIRC, I've read it in both, but FOSUinB should have it explained while TCB should just mention it like everything else.
  8. At one point, vpw made a big deal about supposedly doing that. He used to say "God set His Word above His Name." Someone showed him the verse didn't say "set". it said "magnified." So, the best example vpw could find- and he announced it- was switching "set" for "magnified". If he couldn't find a real example of himself changing anything if he was caught making an error, I'll take it as a given he never corrected any significant error (just the thing I mentioned.)
  9. If you were a '"member", they would have responsibilities back to you. Since you "weren't a member", they felt free to treat you as DISPOSABLE.
  10. *sighs* No, what he wrote in his blog is straight out of BULLINGER, almost verbatim. vpw isn't the only one who can read Bullinger and spit back what he wrote. At least one page shows a healthy respect for Bullinger, and their explanation about who they are sounds NOTHING like ex-twi. So, Bullinger is verbatim, but twi is not.

    GSC is short for GreaseSpot Cafe, where you're reading this right now. It's a messageboard that tells the other sides of the story of the way international (twi) and its spinoffs/"splinters". People come here to learn about those, to socialize with other twi survivors, and so on. Its name comes from lcm's (loy craig martindale) insistence that anyone leaving twi would be overwhelmed by devils upon their exit, becoming a "GREASESPOT BY MIDNIGHT." Well, the survivors came here. Midnight has come and gone. We've gone on with our lives, and lcm was removed from twi. So, the name is "tongue-in-cheek."
  12. I apparently neglected to ask Mrs Wolf if she ever watched the series. Yes, she did, and no, she won't. Good thing we keep finding other shows to watch together.
  13. Yeah, George, I was wondering if it was interesting enough to be watchable with a family without it qualifying as a punishment for anyone. I guess that's a matter of opinion.
  14. vpw went through a LOT of alcohol in the average week, so I would be more surprised if he was SOBER at the time. (BTW, I ran into technical problems when I was posting links last night, so I included a link back to this thread accidentally while working around the problems. I hope nobody cares.)
  15. His other senses worked fine. Since the question was raised, I'd think his insignia would have a slight raising over the shirt. We have designs that are similar. The ring knows what suit to give him, so it defaults to a GL uniform, with the special instruction for him and his people to make it a bell insignia. (Interesting line of thought, I think.)
  16. Anytime you have to hike 2 miles to a rest stop, then phone someone to get a ride because you were kicked off a vehicle on the highway, well, it makes an impression on you. I'm sure the memories of that day are PARTICULARLY vivid.
  17. Here's some threads which overlap with this discussion. "Holocaust." https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/15320-holocaust/ "What gives Holocaust denial such an appeal?" https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/6799-what-gives-holocaust-denial-such-an-appeal/ "WAS VPW A HOLOCAUST DENIER?" https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/24802-was-vpw-a-holocaust-denier/ "vpw connection to nazi party?" "https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/6636-vpw-connection-to-nazi-party/ "Myth of the Six Million." https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/9836-myth-of-the-six-million/
  18. "The Hoax of the Twentieth Century." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hoax_of_the_Twentieth_Century "The Thirteenth Tribe/" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thirteenth_Tribe#Genetic_research "The Myth of the Six Million." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_L._Hoggan#Holocaust_denial
  19. Susan Sarandon The Rocky Horror Picture Show Tim Curry
  20. When I hear that song, I picture Batman running around the dock with the cartoon bomb thing. The show is family-friendly. Is it worth watching?
  21. https://greenlantern.fandom.com/wiki/Rot_Lop_Fan https://comicvine.gamespot.com/rot-lop-fan/4005-49711/ http://blog.comicspriceguide.com/2018/05/21/beware-my-powerthe-f-sharp-bell/ " In loudest din or hush profound, my ears catch evil's slightest sound. Let those who toll out evil's knell, beware my power: The F-Sharp Bell!"
  22. I thought it was a Jimi Hendrix- specific song. I also didn't know the later parts of the song, just the first verse and the tune. Of course, the correct artist was Jimi OR anyone who actually played the thing, including Billy Roberts since he was a singer and not just a writer (apparently.) The usual standard is for some kind of broadcast SOMEWHERE, but that's for the SONG, not the artist, really, and this song got/gets plenty of airplay. So, Human's turn.
  23. I saw parts of about 2 episodes, I think. When it was a new show.
  24. If you look over some old threads, we discussed the Holocaust. A few posters consistently insisted the numbers of dead were GREATLY exaggerated (as in, hundreds died or something rather than millions), and the evidence was FAKED. Is it any coincidence that ALL the posters who pulled that were ALL posters who were big boosters of vpw, who always tried to whitewash his image clean of his rapes, druggings, molestations, plagiarism, vices, and so on? vpw was very pro-German, and claimed his German heritage meant his family was very industrious and hard-working. (BTW, vpw was a lazy boy on the farm who ran off into the forest and disappeared for hours rather than do his chores.) He also insinuated he got revelation all the time, and some of what he said when he did came straight from the John Birch Society, which is a conspiracy shop and so on. Those who knew him PERSONALLY could say more, and I'm sure they will. :)
